Short Answer
FBD stands for Fulfilled by Daraz. You send stock to a Daraz warehouse, and Daraz stores, packs and ships the orders to your customers on your behalf. Daraz's own seller training slides describe eligibility rules and a free storage period, but they are undated, so check the current terms in Seller Center before you decide.
FBD stands for Fulfilled by Daraz. It is a service where you send your stock to Daraz, and Daraz stores it, packs it and ships it to the buyer. The alternative, which most small sellers use, is to pack each order yourself and hand it to a courier.
What Does Daraz's Own Material Say About FBD?
Daraz's seller training slides describe FBD as a consignment model: your stock sits in a Daraz warehouse, and Daraz picks, packs and ships on your behalf. The slides mention warehouses in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, and storage that is free for the first 30 days. They do not state what storage costs after those 30 days.
These slides are undated. Treat every number in this section as "what Daraz's slides said", not as today's terms. Daraz can change fees and eligibility at any time.
Who Is Eligible for FBD?
According to the same slides, a seller needs:
- a positive seller rating of at least 70%
- a quality return rate of at most 2%
- fewer than 12 non-compliance points
The slides also say sellers who joined less than two months ago are not eligible. Read the current conditions in Seller Center before you plan around FBD.
Where Do I See FBD in Seller Center?
The slides point to Seller Center, then Products, then Fulfilment by Daraz. Menu names change over time, so if you do not find it there, search Seller Center for "Fulfilment" or check Daraz University.
What Changes for My Daily Work?
With self-shipping you print a label for each order and pack it. With FBD the warehouse handles that step, so your daily work shifts to keeping stock sent in and matched. Labels and ship-by flags matter less for FBD stock, but they still matter for anything you ship yourself.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming FBD costs and requirements are the same as in old blog posts or old slides. Check the current terms.
- Forgetting that your own-shipped products still need labels and a ship-by deadline.
- Not matching stock between a store's FBD stock and its self-shipped stock.
Related Terms
- Shipping label: the printed slip on a parcel you ship yourself.
- Seller SKU: the code that helps you track which item is where.
- Self-shipping: packing and handing parcels to a courier yourself.
